Had to reinstall AAH today after a hardware failure
brought everything down, so we installed the latest
beta which seems to include a VERY recent FreePBX (I'm
guessing within a couple days old). I noticed that
dialing *97 still requires a password so went to find
where to add the |s and found it's been moved to
applications.conf, [app-messagecenter] context, this line:
exten =>
${APP-MESSAGECENTER-DIRECT},5,VoicemailMain(${CALLERIDNUM}@${VMCONTEXT}|s)
(I added the |s in the line above)
I'd suggest that either the |s be included by default
(since most folks don't want to enter a password when
picking up voicemail at their own extension), OR that
it be made a system-wide setting in Setup|General
Settings (you can require users to enter a password, or
not), OR that it be made an individual setting for each
extension (extensions in public places would require
the password, while extensions in more private
locations would not). In any case we need a way to set
this so it doesn't get overwritten with each upgrade.
